Coulda Woulda Shoulda

[Intro]
See, niggas think this love stuff is easy
Heh, it's not the case

[Montell]
Fallin' in love is so easy
But stayin' that way is so hard
All she wanted was security
A man with a job and a car, baby
You'd think I oughtta be happy
On a hill with a view of the stars
But as soon as I had to go out of town for a week
I went to the next woman's arms

1 - If I coulda seen inside her
Woulda seen her broken heart
I woulda held on tighter
Then we wouldn't be falling apart

I shoulda said I love her
A thousand times a day
Then I wouldn't be sittin' here
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
My whole damn life away

[Case]
Never had a good reason
For treating my lady that way
She cursed me out and left me standing there
And went to her girlfriend's to stay, baby
Now I spend all my lonely nights
Mentally tryin' to explain
Why she told me she never wanted to see me again
A year ago today

Repeat 1

[Montell]
In the morning you know I coulda came back
Just before work to fool around in the sack
[Case]
In the afternoon, it woulda been so cool
Surprise you with ice and set a date for next June
[Both]
In the evening, shoulda loved you right
And let my niggas know I'm stayin' home tonight
[Montell]
I coulda, I woulda, I shoulda but now you're gone
But now you're gone

Repeat 1

Coulda, woulda, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Case] I love you baby

[Montell] Can I sing to ya baby?
Can I sing to ya?
Can I sing to ya baby?
Can I sing to ya?

Repeat 1
